ANNIVERSARY OF THE DOBBS RULING
(Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, 3 years ago today, the
Supreme Court made the courageous and correct decision to strike down
Roe v. Wade, but, Mr. Speaker, when over a million abortions are still
happening every year in our country, we cannot grow apathetic to the
ongoing suffering of unborn children.
Our Constitution never was a pro-abortion document. It was always
intended to guarantee equal protection for all people no matter how
young or how small. The good from the Dobbs decision is eclipsed by the
rise in abortions nationwide following the decision, mostly due to
chemical abortions through telehealth.
Congress must act with urgency. My Teleabortion Prevention Act takes
a step in the right direction by ending the practice of mail-order
abortion that kills children and leaves mothers alone and helpless.
We must take the principles woven into the fabric of our country and
ensure they are reflected in our laws.
